I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Life's complicated enough without trying to make it simple.

My Interests

Layers: social, experiential, historical; the ironic is always good for a laugh.

I'd like to meet:

The curious, the tormented... story tellers and makers.

Music:

If the artists have a point, something to say or express, chances are I'll dig it. For the curious: the Friends' box has links to all kinds of styles and talents.

Sick of it All - Step Down : The handshake says it all

Social Distortion - Mommy's Little Moster

Morcheeba - World Looking In

Morcheeba - ?? : Their videos rock, too

Cracker - Low

Clutch - Electric Worry : The Rock of Ages

Movies:

Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Seven Samurai, Escape From New York, Spaghetti Westerns... "character studies" like Factotum and A Scanner Darkly to be more recent.

Television:

Brimstone, Firefly, Brisco County Jr., Curb Your Enthusiasm...

Books:

I have an insatiable imagination: Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean; good stories. BROM and Luis Royo, both artists. History books.

Heroes:

Everyone else. Oh, and Charlie the Unicorn.
